Guest Post: The Big Business Of Cancer - 100 Billion Dollars Was Spent On Cancer Drugs Last Year Alone

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Michael Snyder via The End of The American Dream blog,

If you are an American, there is a 1 in 3 chance that you will get cancer during your lifetime.  If you are a man, the odds are closer to 1 in 2.  And almost everyone in America either knows someone who currently has cancer or who has already died from cancer.  But it wasn’t always this way.  Back in the 1940s, only one out of every sixteen Americans would develop cancer.  Something has happened that has caused the cancer rate in this nation to absolutely explode, and it is being projected that cancer will soon surpass heart disease and become the leading cause of death in the United States.  Overall, the World Health Organization says that approximately 14 million new cases of cancer are diagnosed around the globe each year, and the number of new cases is expected to increase by about 70 percent over the next 2 decades.

There are very few words in the English language that cause more fear than the word “cancer”, but despite billions spent on research and all of the technological progress we have made over the years this plague just continues to spiral wildly out of control.  Why is that?

In America today, more money is spent to treat cancer than to treat any other disease by far.  In fact, according to NBC News, 100 BILLION dollars was spent on cancer drugs just last year alone…

As drug prices continue to fall under ever-increasing scrutiny, spending on cancer medicines has hit a new milestone: $100 billion in 2014.

 

That’s up more than 10 percent from 2013, and up from $75 billion five years earlier, according to a report published Tuesday from the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics.

100 million dollars would be an astounding amount of money to spend on these drugs.  But 100 billion dollars is 1,000 times as much money as 100 million dollars.  And the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics is projecting that the amount of money spent on cancer drugs will continue to grow at a rate of 6 to 8 percent a year.

Needless to say, there are a lot of people out there that are becoming exceedingly wealthy treating this disease.

And the cost of some these drugs is absolutely absurd.  According to NBC News, two of the latest cancer drugs to be developed “are priced at $12,500 a month“…

Forty-five new drugs for cancer hit the market between 2010 and 2014, including 10 last year alone, IMS said. Two of those are so-called immunotherapies, a hot new class that harnesses the immune system to fight cancer. They are Opdivo from Bristol-Myers Squibb and Keytruda from Merck. Both are priced at $12,500 a month.

Yes, I understand that drug companies are in business to make a profit.

But how can anyone possibly justify charging cancer patients that much for their medicine?

If you are diagnosed with cancer in America today and you choose to trust the medical system with your treatment, you can say goodbye to your financial future.  Even if you have health insurance, you will probably end up flat broke one way or the other.  Either you will survive and be flat broke, or you will die flat broke.

And despite all of our ultra-expensive treatments, the survival rate for cancer is still not very good.  At this point, the five year survival rate for those diagnosed with cancer is just 65 percent.  That means that 35 percent of those diagnosed with cancer are going to end up dead within five years, and for certain forms of cancer that percentage is much, much higher.

Sadly, as I mentioned at the top of this article, the percentage of the population getting cancer just continues to go up

We have lost the war on cancer. At the beginning of the last century, one person in twenty would get cancer. In the 1940s it was one out of every sixteen people. In the 1970s it was one person out of ten. Today one person out of three gets cancer in the course of their life.

We live in a society that is highly toxic, and it is getting worse with each passing day.

And once you do develop cancer, doctors are not allowed to prescribe any “alternative treatments” for you.  They are only permitted to offer you the treatments that the system tells them that they must offer.

One of these is chemotherapy.  It is an absolutely nightmarish treatment that often kills the patient before it kills the cancer.  The following is how one woman described her experience with chemo

This highly toxic fluid was being injected into my veins. The nurse administering it was wearing protective gloves because it would burn her skin if just a tiny drip came into contact with it. I couldn’t help asking myself “If such precautions are needed to be taken on the outside, what is it doing to me on the inside?” From 7 pm that evening, I vomited solidly for two and a half days. During my treatment, I lost my hair by the handful, I lost my appetite, my skin colour, my zest for life. I was death on legs.

Many patients go through round after hellish round, hoping that it will do something about their cancer.  Have you ever known someone who has gone through this ordeal?  It can be absolutely heartbreaking.

But in the end, there is a tremendous amount of doubt regarding whether chemo does much good at all.  Just consider the words of Dr. Ralph Moss, the author of a book entitled “The Cancer Industry“…

In the end, there is no proof that chemotherapy actually extends life in the vast majority of cases, and this is the great lie about chemotherapy, that somehow there is a correlation between shrinking a tumour and extending the life of a patient.

So why do oncologists push chemo so hard?

Well, it is because they make a tremendous amount of money doing it

According to the research of Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner of Freakonomics fame, “Oncologists are some of the highest paid doctors, their average income is increasing faster than any other specialist  in the medical field, and more than half their income comes from selling and administering chemotherapy.”

 

Yes you read that right.  Oncologists make a huge profit, as much as two-thirds of their income in some cases, from chemotherapy drugs.

 

Their business model is very different from other doctors because you can’t buy chemotherapy drugs at your local pharmacy.

 

Oncologists buy these drugs direct at wholesale prices, then they mark them up and bill the insurance companies. This legal profiting on drugs by doctors is unique to the cancer treatment world. They’re making money off the drugs that they insist you take to save your life. That’s a HUGE conflict of interest. They’re selling you the drugs, and charging you for the privilege of putting them in your body. No other doctor can do that.

Our system is deeply corrupt and deeply broken.

But nothing is going to change any time soon because hundreds of billions of dollars are being made.

I would never risk my family's financial independence by becoming a victim of the US "Health Care" system.  However depending on the circumstances, I might consider leaving the country for quality medical care and pay a fraction of the US prices in cash or gold.

US "Health Care" is nothing but a bunch of quacks tapping away at their tablets, worthless turds all.

In the US I would trust a competent country veterinarian who can still use his or her brain over any MD or DO.

The US system sucks.  I would rather die than be "treated" by US medical scum.

I don't disagree with the observations concerning the meidcal industry.

However, for the sake of clarity I just want to point out that statistically the number of Americans expected to live past 50 has increased substantially since the turn of the last century (50 being a sort of actuarial goal post for many forms of cancer).

This doesn't fit all oncologists, but enough of them.  Some quit as they have to pay for the drugs out of pocket and then they bill insurers who sometimes come back and don't pay or short them.  Thus so you see a lot of chemo treatment going on at hospitals.  Why? Hospitals get paid more even though it's less expensive to have chemo administered at a clinic.  

If a practice sells out to a hospital, then they get to charge a facility fee too.  Those are the folks with a "bank", the hospital, to front the money for the chemo drugs.  Your average oncologist who has a private practice doing this doesn't have the same rules.  Again they front the money, get hassled by health insurers with referrals and squabble about  treatment plans with insurers.  Some of these MDs end up closing up shop.  So again, it's a sector of oncologists that make money, those affiliated or owned by hospitals, not independents.  

Buying at wholesale might be correct but the insurers want that cost as well as determining what your treatment will be.  About 3 years ago United had a big attack report put out on oncologists telling them that some of their treatments were not evidence based and thus would not pay for some of what the doctors would prescribe, so that too can leave patients out of the option of new expensive treatments.  Bottom line though is correct, it's way over prices no matter how you look at it.

Vitamin D slashes cancer risk by 77 percent.

http://www.naturalnews.com/035063_vitamin_D_cancer_facts.html

I just got back my D3 level within the hour; It was 101. Most people's D3 level is less than 20. The Medical-Industrial complex recommend something like 30. 

Bringing up the population's D3 level profits no one. You can get D3 for free, from the sun. And in the times of the year when you can't, a D3 supplement, plus Vitamin K2 costs less than $1/day. Way less. 

 

Any wonder TPTB are trying to ban natural supplements? They don't want a healthy population; a sick one is much more lucrative.

A lot of it is genetics, but of course cancer will never be cured as there is s too much money to be made in its treatment.

I remember a wonderful neighbor, that just loved my girls, and she would do anyhing to help us, she was highly educated and ended up doing stand up comedy here in the ATL.  She died a horrible death, full of suffering and financial hardship.  Her husband lost everything trying to pay for her treatment... But he will always be remembered for the guy that ran off with another woman less than a month from her passsing, just leaving everything for the vultures. That is not love.

The health care industry is heavily subsidized. For many decades government has acted as a private sales force for the industry. Entry into the field medical field is restricted. Having health insurance is equated with actually receiving care. If health care was administered in a free market setting there would already be a cure for cancer. When subsidies are offered, the excuse is that subsidies will spur innovation and encourage research. Innovation is always more characteristic in industries where there are no subsidies. The computer and information technology industries are a good example although they are not completely subsidy free. James Quillian, Common Sense Economics, quillian.net

Hey I hate the med and pharma industry As much as anyone. But I still don't see pharmas making 20-30 or 40% to bottom line. But agreed pushing things like chemo that doesn't work is the true sin. Not only expense, but false hope and horrible quality of life in a persons final stage.

To be fair until people realize cancer actuAlly kills you and it is so complex, people won't stop suing. Show me a doc not prescribing chemo and I'll show you his patience families suing him for malpractice. The system is screwed but so are the "people". We are all idiots.

From WebMD, 2011. If their figures are correct, even extrapolating over an average lifetime it doesn't seem to add up to one third of people developing cancer. Or have I drunk too much and can't add up?

Jan 24, 2011 -- About 300 of every 100,000 Americans develop cancer each year, which means the U.S. has the seventh highest cancer rate in the world.

From some minimal research, my understanding is that a healthy body has a slightly alkaline pH and that cancer can only grow in an acidic environment. It cannot survive in an alkaline environment.

Thus, one way to shrink and ultimately eliminate cancers once developed is to eat nothing but raw fruits and vegetables, which shift the body's pH to alkaline.

Would appreciate the board's commenting on this approach, for or against.

I've been reading quite a bit about cancer, strangely enough because my brother is studying philosophy and there was a huge section about arguments and misleading statements etc, one of which focused on incidence of lung cancer. There's a whole bunch of whacko shite out there about various causes and cures but there are also a ton of pretty sensible sounding hypotheses that are worth investigating further. Possible causes include sugar consumption and radiation from nuclear testing etc. Possible cures as alluded to in some of the other comments include D3, baking soda and a few others. Either way it's preferable to do research now than after that awful moment when the doctor delivers the bad news. If sugar is a factor in helping cancer cells develop then fruit would definitely be a thing to cut back consumption of. Arguably fructose is the hardest sugar for the body to process because it has to take place in the liver for some reason.

What I have read is that baking soda needs to be somehow directly injected or applied to the cancer site. You don't just take it by mouth because what happens over time it that it raises the ph in your stomach to a more alkaline level.  This alkaline environment inhibits absorption of nutrients and makes is easy for parasites to make it into the body. Swallowing a baking soda solution is not a good idea .

It can counteract stomach acid which is why you don't do it every day.  You can do the lemon juice and alkaline diet periodically also but that is a huge pain in the ass.

If anyone has cancer and is looking for solutions, be careful of some of the comments.  Sugar in fruit is different than cane sugar and different than the artificial sucrose, fructose crap. You NEED A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF ORGANIC FRUIT for its nutrients. On the other hand, DO NOT EAT STUFF WITH CANE SUGAR, OR SUCROSE, FRUCTOSE, ASPARTAME OR ANY OF ITS COUSINS.

IDK, but get a test kit. Look at the baking soda cure. There is a charlatan behind every bush so be careful and read up on PH. Split the test strips with scissors and double the amount.

Test all the liquids in your house and what you drink. Most R0 or bottled water is very acidic. I have no proof of anything but know somebody in remission from natural treatments and being intense about a good diet, lots of vitman C and checking his PH regularly.

chemicals. chemicals, and more chemicals. I remember finding that one of my good friends had just found out that he had lyphoma and he went to the number one doc in Vanderbilt that handled this particular type. The first question that he asked my friend was "Are you a farmer"? Well, how many farmers do you know that are constantly using chemicals on their farm. Then just recenlty the WHO (world health organization) just announced that Round-Up is carcinageous. Well, I have used it lightly around the house but I have now taken everything out of here and dumped it. NO MORE. It is in our food. In our water, In our air. If you want to donate to getting rid of cancer then lets stop Dow, Monsanto, Dupont etc etc from produicng all this crap. They spray it over are homes and it does affect us all. Years ago the military sprayed agent orange over the local forest (1967) to see if it worked. It did work and caused many people and animals to get sick and the people sued and won the case against the gov't.

  6. OIL OF OREGANO:  http://www.uncleharrys.com/blog/product-library/post/oregano-oil-the-most-powerful-plant-derived-antiseptic:

    [W]hen God said in the Bible that the fruit of trees is good to eat and their leaves medicinal (Ezekiel 47. 12), he knew what he was talking about. Every plant has some medicinal properties and many are yet to be discovered. Indeed, it was only in 1910, that a scientist named W. H. Martindale documented that the essential oil of oregano is the most powerful plant-derived antiseptic known. He showed it was 26 times more active as an antiseptic than phenol (a powerful disinfectant).

    In 1977, at the second International Congress of Phytotherapy and Aromatherapy in Monaco, a French doctor named Belaiche unveiled his Oregano Index that uses Oregano oil as the base reference to compare the bactericidal action of other substances. The reason he chose Oregano Oil is because he determined by rigorous laboratory experimentation that, out of all natural essential oils, Oregano was the closest to an ideal antibacterial agent.

    He used the analytical technique of Schroeder and Messing, who measured the “halo” of bacterial inhibition in millimeters caused by specific essential oils in a bacterial culture medium maintained in petri dishes. He tested both the ability of essential oils to inhibit bacterial growth as well as to kill bacteria. Belaiche also chose to use bacterial cultures taken from sick persons rather than cultures grown in laboratories. He tested essential oils on test groups of bacteria that ranged from 20 to 90 different types such as E Coli, Candida, Staph, etc. Based on these experiments, Belaiche and other French doctors developed an “Aromatogramme” or a chart measuring the halo of inhibition caused by individual essential oils on specific bacterial cultures. After exhaustive studies he concluded the following statements:

      “This aromatic essence (Oregano) is almost always the leader. Among the most active oils Oregano is the “best of the best...” The essential oil of Oregano has always provided me with amazing results in treating infectious diseases. Besides Oregano oil's bactericidal action, it also prevents spasms, convulsions and nervous disorders. In my estimation, the antispasmodic qualities help to synergize its wonderful antiseptic powers which comforts me everytime I prescribe it for my patients. It is surprising that Oregano oil has been known for a long time but is only now being recognized for its therapeutic powers.”

Good advice.

One thing you didn't mention is - do not, ever, take any pharmaceuticals- no prescriptions (other than opiates for severe pain). They are absolutely unneccesary, and most will create other health problems that modern medicine will treat with even more prescriptions, worsening the downward spiral.

Think you need an antibiotic? Use oil of oregano.

Think you need a steroid? Use turmeric.

Think you need an antifungal? Use sulfur.

Drink a shot of apple cider vinegar everday- it keeps the doctor away.

Crap. Cancer is endemic in cells. You beat cancer if you are healthy enough to produce enough cells to outrace the mutant cells. The "cures" prevent your automatic recovery. You should not take these therapies unless you're 90, at death's door and horny as hell.

It's the FOOD (or what passes as food anyway).  Find yourself a local (at minimum) organic farmer that cares about nutrition.  Ideally, you'll find a farmer that really cares about nutrient density of food because not all organic food is great food (some of it is as bad as the bullshit you can buy at walmart without the pesticide and herbicide obviously (no nutrition). 

Everyone reading this site should have the sense to get rid of the lawn and plant a real organic garden at minimum.  We all need real nutrient dense food, and the shit you buy in the store is mostly food-like products, even the raw vegetables.  A carrot looks like a carrot, but it's empty. 

Also, keeping a bucket of (survival) seeds is fucking stupid.  Unless you're actively gardening today, you're not going to have the skills or basic tools to make anything grow. 

 

I'm extremely pissed off of losing so many people I care about, and friends family members dying from fucking cancer.

Of course, we could also discuss the incredible amount deaths caused by the medical system itself as a whole but that is just too damn depressing.

I watched my father die from the big C. I wouldn't talk or touch or believe or communicate or have anything to do with an "oncologist" under any circumstances including a bulging tumor protruding out of my eye socket. Just thinking about what the "doctors" did to my father brings great anger to my mind. It is the most corrupt of all the rackets. The other ones know they are they crooks and scam artists, but big medical has pulled the wool over so many eyes it's pathetic, actually it's pure evil what they do. 

Seriously, how could anyone believe taking a spectrum of known poisons is going to cure you of your ailments. Look what they did to Royal Rife, and you will understand the picture. Hell ya, be a medical guinea pig, give them any wealth you have saved, and get poisoned. You may survive chemo, or you may not, but you will be sick from day one, and if you are lucky, will possibly recover your health outside of their system of poisons. If you are not lucky, your cancer and poison combination will make your last days on Earth a living hell, and you will give your mind, body, and soul to the reapers and wraiths fraudulently posing as health care. Do no harm my ass. They lie, cheat, and steal everything from a human.

I personally believe the advice I have seen on these posts is correct, PH, diet, exercise, baking soda, hemp oil, mind body fusion, these are the all paths to moving beyond the cancers that infect all humans. The medical establishment is a path to death, and pain, and suffering, and experimentation, and evil. Words can not convey my contempt and digust with the cancer/poison industry. Go to the doctor when you have a broken bone, a laceration, a burn. They do not have the ability to cure disease with their methods, only treat symtpoms.

Heal thyself, and your powers will grow. Keep the love.

Even though chemo may not be the answer in many situations, I would caution people reading this site to do lots and lots of homework before making a decision in treatment.  Mainstream medicine is not all bad and alternative medicine is not all good. It all depends on the type of cancer and your own circumstances. Sometimes, just surgery can make a big difference. Pray for guidance in your decision making. 

There are some general principles that are a no brainer.

  • Water filter, not the cheap Britta, something more helpful like Multipure
  • Organic food,especially fruits and vegetables. 
  • 20 minutes of sun a day NO SUNSCREEN (D3K2 supplement only if no sun available) 
  • No plastic water bottles, no heating in plastics
  • Fermented foods for a healthy gut, the seat of immunity
  • Enjoy life 

www.mercola.com has great healthy living ideas

The worst part of all is that cancer is NOT a disease but a special biological program to SAVE the human being facing an unexpected psicological conflict. It has all been demonstrated by Mrs Candace Pert in USA, by Riyke Gerd Hamer in Germany and by Mr. Francesco Castrica in Italy. Interesting is that the former developed a diagnosys and therapy approach that could be found here:

Solutions are almost at zero cost. But health is a business and anyone becomes a client at first vaccine disposal...

My sister just died from ovarian cancer last week. Two weeks ago, I went to US and visited my sister and accompanied her to see her oncologist. He saw the chart and said she only had 2 - 3 weeks left but the tone coming out from his mouth is the most uncaring medical professional that I have experienced. 

After a week, I wheel chaired my sister to do the drainage and I saw the oncologist walking pass in front of us with a cup of coffee. I pretended I didn't notice him and see what his responds. He saw us and ignored us, not even a word of condolences. Unprofessional wankers. They are next to the fucking bankers.

A society controlled by Elitist sociopaths.  We are doomed.  We are surely in the last days.  These same misanthropic, Godless, savants are configuring transhumans by mixing human DNA with myriad other species to create all manner of alien freaks all over the world.  There are no longer any significant morally inhibiting factors under serious consideration among the Elitist demoniacs.

If God doesn't soon put a stop to this insanity, He will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.

What's worse than a society which objects to being controlled by Elitist Socipaths?

A society that believes in, "God".

Waiting for God to put a stop to it, is no different than being an observer at the hanging of an innocent man, instead of acting, and cutting him down b 4 he drops. 

If there were a "god", she would have to disguise herself as an ordinary human bean, because if I could see  her and get close enough to her, I'd first kick her ass all over the place, and then have her drawn and quartered for being such a neurotic, psychopathic, capricious bitch to her own creations.

Nope, just a former choir boy, molested by god's chosen, and veteran of a visit to the Vatican where on one wall there is enough solid gold to finance all the Poor in any place catholics are bemoaning their poverty.

Spent all 16 years in catholic institutions, and what could tell you about them would convince you that god not only does not exist, but was invented by human beans who spotted huge business opportunity that till this day rivals APPL if it had issued common stock.

Suppose a cure for Cancer was found. Suppose a cure for Depression were found.

Why, THAT would put 2 Billion of dollars a year industries out of business-we can't have that!

Cannabis oil.

Rick Simpson Method.

I've seen it work firsthand.

Is cheaper than chemo even if you buy your cannabis on the street rather than growing it yourself.

You gotta take a lot of it though.

For some people chemo or death might be preferable...

IMO from what I've read and researched someone would have to have their head looking at for getting chemotherapy. Out of 3 family members who had it they all markedly deteriorated then died soon after having the chemo without a doubt their last time here would have been longer and more enjoyable without feeling sick with the chemo. And if you survive chemo your body will be chronically weakened leaving your chances of not getting another cancer in next 5 years very poor.

If I am going to die of cancer I do not want big pharma profiting from me for chemo.

So fuck you big pharma and shove your chemo up your arse - I shall be drinking a bottle of whiskey every day.

Cancer can be cured by managing/altering the body's pH.

 

Cancer can also be cured with vitamins - in the right dosage, not the bullshit doses the FDA pumps out.

But billions are made by the cancer sheeple who run around and collect donations as they die.  Cancer is a multi-billion dollar business and the dying cancer sheeple are their best spokespeople.  Ironic and sad.

"Back in the 1940s, only one out of every sixteen Americans would develop cancer.  Something has happened that has caused the cancer rate in this nation to absolutely explode, and it is being projected that cancer will soon surpass heart disease and become the leading cause of death in the United States." 

Yes and the reason for the hockey stick rise in cancers are vaccines and primarily all those baby boomers who were inoculated with the polio vaccine. The vaccine, like all vaccines, was cultivated in animal tissue. Polio was cultivated in the kidneys of monkeys. They discovered one virus, simian virus 40 (SV40) just before the start of the mass polio inoculation, but still decided to proceed with the inoculations. When they started testing SV40 they discovered that it caused cancer. This caused mass panic in government circles because they knew that the baby boomers given the polio vaccine would be a ticking cancer time bomb. So they attempted to develop a cancer vaccine in New Orleans in the 1960s and Trickie Dickie Nixon started a war on cancer in 1971. They never succeeded. And now it is a massive economic sector supporting GDP. 

The immune mechanisms of the body can generally hold off the virus which once introduced stays in the body forever, but as soon as the immune system weakens, cancer develops. And what helps turn off the immune system? Some actions are:

 ---- radiation (probably the reason for the massive increase in breast cancers)

---- anxiety drugs and anti-depressants (50% of the population)

---- antibiotics (may kill a bug or two but consistent use weakens the immune system)

---- pain killers like ibuprofen

Stirring the pot - all vaccines have animal viruses and so every time somebody gets a vaccine they introduce a ticking time body into the body.

Industry and praticians are culprit, but so are the patients, they want to be saved... With the (also out of control) legal system nowadays they have to do somethng to help the patients...

 

It is somehow funny that in a lot of our modern culture religions is despiced whereas every body and his neighbours is running to the first praticians in sight for SALVATION.

Foremost for lots cancer cases the people are hardly sick, zhen the cancer is announced it is more of a confirmation that they are going to die. Technologically advanced but a ground zero wrt spirituality, people can't accept the idea.

Now I'm not a doctor I'm not advocating for doing nothing but there are clearly cancer and cancer.
